Check out this weeks KC:'TIL I DIE! More Angela! Or click on the image for a higher res version!


I was really debating about the direction I would take with 'Til I Die, re: Angela. I was really wondering if I should have her actually speak out loud, something she has yet to do in the entire series. After doing the past two weeks of strips, I'm not entertaining the idea of having her entirely silent. Yep, not even a monologue. We'll see. This could be problematic, as the story I've plotted out requires her monologue, and or speaking. It could come down to the very minute that I draw the strips that determines the outcome.

I'm really enjoying making KC again. It feels like home. Like I'm writing in a diary, or spilling my guts. Like I'm in a confessional. A comic book confessional. heh.

In Ontario/Canada, where I reside, we had an election this week. I am usually quite, um, shall we say discontent with the current political climate, and the system of control we have in place, and I usually spoil my ballot, or vote strategically so the worse of two evils doesn't make it into power. I do think voting is important, even if you're apathetic, or hate the people running. But whatever.This past voting, the province of Ontario had a glorious opportunity to choose an alternate method of choosing the people/parties in power. I was excited about this change, as it would make the system more democratic, and people would actually have a voice and be represented in the government.

Well, the people have spoken, and they rejected the proposed alternate method of election. Great. Nothing is changed. I'm actually surprised, but really, the blame lies in those who were tasked with educating the public about the proposed change. I didn't really understand the issue till a friend of mine explained it to me a week before the vote. I can only assume people who have no friends into politics would have no idea what the whole thing is about. So, I guess I'm not surprised. Just disappointed.

I digress. Working on this weeks comic, I was accompanied by CDs by A FINE FRENZY, and the ACROSS THE UNIVERSE soundtrack.

PUSHING DAISIES is the best new show on TV, IMHO. And I really want to like the BIONIC WOMAN, but the shittiness of the show is making that quite difficult.
